The Rev. Al Sharpton announced on the Today Show this morning that his organization is planning a 100-city vigil for Trayvon Martin in the wake of the not guilty verdict for George Zimmerman.

Sharpton, who hosts a show on MSNBC and is the founder of the National Action Network, joined the chorus of voices calling for the Justice Department to continue a civil rights investigation against the 29-year-old who shot Trayvon.

The vigils and demonstrations are planned to take place in front of federal buildings across the country on Saturday led by ministers in those areas, Sharpton told Savannah Guthrie.

The Central Florida chapter is planning their vigil at the federal courthouse in downtown Orlando but the details have not been finalized, according to chapter president Lawanna Gelzer.
